Just after I published my web site and thought I had begun my career as a travel writer, the Travel section of The Washington Post (Sunday, July 28) had this on its cover page:  "Have wheels, will travel".  Three major articles about traveling with a disability covered four of the six page section.

Reid Davenport has cerebral palsy.  He uses an electric wheelchair.  Carole Zoom has congenital muscular dystrophy.  She uses an electric scooter and a ventilator.  While I take week-long trips to resorts that I can reach on a nonstop flight,  Davenport braved parts of Europe on a 20-day mission to film a documentary about the challenges people with disabilities face in Ireland, France, and Brussels.  Zoom went to China, where the stigma of living with a disability made her a spectacle everywhere she went.
